8 1198 TFX Ultra O&M Rev 01/11 QUICK-START OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSThis manual contains detailed operating instructions for all aspects of the TFX instrument. The following condensed instructions are provided to assist the operator in getting the instrument started up and running as quickly as possible. This pertains to basic operation only. If specifi c instrument features are to be used or if the installer is unfamiliar with this type of instrument, refer to the appropriate section in the manual for complete : The following steps require information supplied by the TFX Meter itself so it will be necessary to supply power to the unit, at least temporarily, to obtain setup - TRANSDUCER LOCATION1) In general, select a mounting location on the piping system with a minimum of 10 pipe diameters (10 the pipe inside diameter) of straight pipe upstream and 5 straight diameters downstream.

9 See Table for additional confi ) If the application requires DTTN, DTTL or DTTH transducers select a mounting method for the transducers based on pipe size and liquid characteristics. See Table Transducer confi gurations are illustrated in Figure : All DTTS and DTTC transducers use V-Mount confi ) Enter the following data into the TFX transmitter via the integral keypad or the ULTRALINK soft-ware utility:1. Transducer mounting method 7. Pipe liner thickness2. Pipe (Outside Diameter) 8. Pipe liner material3. Pipe wall thickness 9. Fluid type4. Pipe material 10. Fluid sound speed*5. Pipe sound speed* 11. Fluid viscosity*6. Pipe relative roughness* 12. Fluid specifi c gravity** NOMINAL VALUES FOR THESE PARAMETERS ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE TFX OPERATING SYSTEM. THE NOMINAL VALUES MAY BE USED AS THEY APPEAR OR MAY BE MODIFIED IF THE EXACT SYSTEM VALUES ARE KNOWN.

10 TFX Ultra O&M Rev 01/11 92 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSTRANSDUCER/POWER CONNECTIONS1) Route the transducer cables from the transducer mounting location back to the TFX enclosure. Connect the transducer wires to the terminal block in the TFX ) Verify that power supply is correct for the meters power voltage AC units require 95 to 265 VAC47 to 63 Hz @ 17 VA voltage AC units require 20 to 28 VAC47 to 63 Hz @ A units require 10 to 28 VDC @ 5 Watts ) Connect power to the TFX fl ow - PIPE PREPARATION AND TRANSDUCER MOUNTING(DTTN, DTTL, and DTTH Transducers) 1) Place the fl ow Meter in signal strength measuring mode. This value is available on the TFX display (Service Menu) or in the data display of the ULTRALINK software ) The pipe surface, where the transducers are to be mounted, must be clean and dry. Remove scale, rust or loose paint to ensure satisfactory acoustic conduction.
